Founding of Daoji

Yin Jiu

Yin Jiu

Aug 22, 2024

An unsealed gourd with a fiery red appearance is very extraordinary at first glance. There is a strange red light flowing on the surface of the gourd, like a burning flame.

"What is the origin of this treasure?" Luo Tian asked.

"This is incredible. I, Luo Bi, have been doing business for many years and still have a good eye. If I am not mistaken, this red gourd is at least a high-level human weapon." Luo Bi replied hurriedly.

"Such a precious treasure, you are willing to give it to me?" Luo Tian said, holding the box and looking it up and down.

Luo Bi scratched his head and said, "Hehe, to be honest, I got this treasure from a colleague a few years ago, and it only cost a few hundred taels of silver."

"So cheap?" Luo Tian asked in surprise.

Luo Bi's face became even more embarrassed, and he said with a wry smile: "Although I can determine that this is a treasure, I don't know how to use it. The colleague who sold it to me doesn't know the formula to activate this gourd. I have also studied this gourd for a long time, but I really can't see any way."

"Hehe, you want to compensate with a piece of garbage?" Luo Tian frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Of course not, I think this treasure must have not found the real destined person, maybe you are its destined owner, anyway, this is also a high-level treasure of human weapon." After saying that, Luo Bi glanced at Luo Tian's face, and seeing that Luo Tian's face did not ease, he hesitated.

After a moment, he continued to speak: "How about this, this is for you..."

After saying that, Luo Bi took out another thing, which was a square token. Luo Tian took it and saw that the token was written with the three words "Tongtianhui".

"This is our guild. I'm a peddler, mainly doing business on the mainland. In the future, if you have treasures to sell or want to buy something, you can use this token to go to our Tongtianhui branch. We will give you a great discount. What do you think?"

Luo Tian knew that although the Tongtianhui was not a first-class family or sect, it was one of the most famous guilds in the entire Canglong Continent. This token was like a VIP status and would definitely be useful.

"Well, whether we are friends is still to be determined. Don't rob or steal in the future, and lose the face of your guild."

Luo Tian gave a lecture, and the matter was settled. Luo Bi smiled and led the people away.

The next day, in the room of Luo Mansion.

Luo Tian looked at the things on the table. He didn't expect that he would make a lot of money by accompanying the seventh princess to visit the underground market.

First of all, the cold iron war knife, although it is a mid-level human weapon, it is a suitable weapon for Luo Tian at this stage. Yuan Changkong's cultivation is higher than Luo Tian's. In addition, he is the eldest son of Zhenxi Hou and a genius cultivated by Yunshan Country. He must have many good weapons in his hands. With this cold iron war knife, he can make up for this disadvantage.

Looking at the fiery red gourd again, although he doesn't know its origin, Luo Bi boasts about it so much, maybe there is really a mystery. Thinking of this, Luo Tian reached out and took the fiery red gourd out of the box. After fiddling with it for a while, he didn't find anything strange, but when he looked at the base of the gourd, he saw a word engraved on the bottom of the gourd.

"Yan?" Luo Tian read it out, not knowing whether this word represents the name of the gourd treasure or the name of its owner.

Putting down the gourd, what Luo Tian was most looking forward to was the ancient wild beast egg. This thing was rare in the entire Yunshan Kingdom. Even Luo Tian, ​​who had been dealing with wild beasts in the Sea of ​​Corpses and Ghosts for three years, had never seen it before.

It is rumored that the probability of successfully hatching an ancient wild beast egg is less than one in ten thousand. Even if it is successfully hatched, the ancient wild beast is ferocious in nature and the possibility of taming is very low. Luo Tian had heard that on the Canglong Continent, only a few extremely powerful empires have tamed ancient wild beasts, and on the black market, the price of the dead ancient wild beast corpse is at least more than 100,000 taels.

"How do I hatch this thing?" Luo Tian stared at the ancient wild beast egg in a daze, thinking: The perverted old man must know how to hatch it, but I can't go back to find him, otherwise, how can I get it out?

As he thought about it, he reached out and gently stroked the ancient beast egg. He never expected that the surface of the stone-like beast egg was uneven. When he stroked it, Luo Tian's fingertips were lightly scratched, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Why is it so sharp!" Luo Tian hurriedly retracted his hand, but a drop of blood still fell on the ancient beast egg, and the blood flowed down the surface of the beast egg.

Luo Tian frowned. The longer he practiced, the better his spiritual sense was, and the better his body was. Strictly speaking, his skin strength was at least twice that of ordinary people. How could he be injured by a beast egg?

"Master, Master..." But at this moment, the servant outside the door shouted.

"What's the matter?" Luo Tian walked to the door and asked.

The servant said hurriedly: "A strange man came to the mansion, carrying many knives, saying he was looking for you. The guard asked him to put down the knives, but he refused, and now he is about to fight."

"Haha, he finally came!" Luo Tian laughed after hearing this, and then walked out with big strides.

At the gate of Luo Mansion, more than a dozen guards were surrounding a person. This person was Yin Jiu, whom Luo Tian met in the underground market.

"You are so brave to break into the general's mansion with weapons. Capture him!" The guard shouted loudly.

Yin Jiu held his tattered luggage, holding a black sword made by himself, and looked at the people around him nervously.

"Stop!" Luo Tian walked forward and shouted loudly.

The guards hurriedly stepped aside when they saw this. Luo Tian stepped forward and said, "This is my friend. I invited him here. Yin Jiu, come in with me."

In the lobby, Yin Jiu, who was dressed in rags and looked sloppy, was out of place in the general's mansion. He was still holding his luggage, while the maids and guards around him pointed at him.

"You asked me to come to you yesterday..." Yin Jiu seemed not good at socializing with people, and his eyes flickered when he spoke.

"Yes, then I'll get straight to the point. I want you to be my royal knife maker." Luo Tian said with a smile.

The Luo family is a general's family. To be the royal knife maker of the Luo family, one must have sufficient skills and experience. When Luo Tian said this, the servants around were shocked.

"Master, this is not possible. How can a little beggar like him be qualified to be the royal knife maker of our Luo family?" The people around hurriedly said loudly.

"Listen carefully, he is not the royal knife maker of our Luo family, but my own. I asked him to forge knives for me as a personal servant and to be my retainer."

The people around were even more surprised, but only Yin Jiu was holding his luggage, and his expression seemed to be as it should be.

"Master, you have not inherited the position of the head of the family yet, how can you accept retainers without authorization? Besides, the cost of maintaining retainers is not small every year. Don't be impulsive and raise a useless person." The old housekeeper of the family advised anxiously.

Luo Tian ignored him, but looked at Yin Jiu and asked, "What conditions do you have? Just ask."

Yin Jiu scratched his head, which had not been washed for many days, and said, "I have three requirements. First, you have to give me at least 100 taels of wages every month. It takes me a long time to forge a knife. You have to pay me no matter whether I can produce a finished product or not. Second, it takes a lot of materials to forge a knife. You have to provide enough. If you can't provide enough materials, I can't guarantee the quality of the knife. Third... You have to provide me with food and accommodation. I haven't eaten for two days."

Yin Jiu is a very strange person, or a very focused person. He was born in the northern iron country, in that mountain village with ice and snow all year round. His father passed on the ancient Tianliu knife-making method to him. Although he is only 18 years old, he said that since he could swing the smallest hammer at the age of three, he has been with knives in the workshop every day. He was born to forge knives.

The ancient Tianliu sword-casting method was once known as the divine sword-casting method, but now it is rumored that it has been lost on the mainland. The reason why this sword-casting method was eliminated is not because it cannot cast high-grade precious swords, but because it is too dependent on materials.

The better the materials used, the better the grade of the sword cast by the ancient Tianliu sword-casting method. On the contrary, the worse the materials used, the worse the finished product.

Yin Jiu was born in poverty. He didn't know why his father knew the ancient Tianliu sword-casting method, but because of poverty, he couldn't afford good materials, so he couldn't cast a good sword, so he ended up in such a miserable state.

"Does that mean you agree?" Luo Tian asked with a smile.

"Well, let me make it clear first, I won't follow you all my life. One day I will cast a divine sword that surpasses our ancestors. When I am famous on the mainland, I will leave you." Yin Jiu nodded.

"What kind of sword is considered a divine sword?" Luo Tian asked.

"My father once told me that a long time ago, my ancestor had forged a supreme divine sword. This divine sword could cut through the sky and tear the earth apart. Even the ancient gods and immortals had to avoid its edge. My father said that this sword was called Ba Luo Tian Dao. But I have been determined to surpass my ancestors since I was a child. I will forge the greatest war sword in history. Now I am just living with you, so... so... can you give me something to eat first? I am starving." Yin Jiu touched his stomach, and the momentary heroic spirit disappeared under his hungry stomach. After arranging the housekeeper to take Yin Jiu to dinner, Luo Tian was in a good mood. He even began to imagine what kind of divine weapon Yin Jiu would forge for him, at least a high-level human weapon. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the room and was about to draft the contract, he found that something seemed to be missing on the table. He looked around and took a closer look, and immediately reacted. "Where is my wild beast egg?" Luo Tian shouted in surprise.
